It's Emma

FROM YASMIN SYED in Melbourne EMMA RADUCANU is hoping the “rowdy” Australian Open atmosphere will carry her through as she faces Anastasia Potapova for a place in the third round.

The British No.1 loves the festival feel in Melbourne Park - and reckons Wimbledon can eventually follow suit, with the All England Club planning to expand the site.

The Australian Open has turned into a three-week event, with starstudded exhibition matches and concerts staged throughout the tournament.

And Raducanu (right), who earned the Aussie nickname 'Raddo' during her first-round win over Mananchaya Sawangkaew, said: “So much happens here. There’s a lot of concerts.

“Even in between the games you see all the boards just flashing ads of what's going on.

“I saw Peggy Gou is coming here, which is cool, but she won't be here for a while.
